I have been doing 16:8 for past week and love it.I do not miss breakfast and over the past few days have been sticking to around 1300/1400 cals and finding Im not that hungry as much between meals anymore.

Tomorrow was meant to be a fast day however due to change of plans I am now having chinese (mmmmm) so I will make it a 16:8 day instead and have fast another day. Here is where I need advice:

My 16 hour window started at 7pm tonight and would normally go till 11am, however to maximise fast can I extend that fast window for as long as possible...say till dinner time around 5 ish tomorrow (maybe earlier) and still eat my meal within those hours left till 7pm??

Thinking that way Id still get benefit of some fasting (20 hours max) and as I would only have a limited time to eat my meal Im un likely to stuff my face (hopefully) and should therefore minimise calorie intake and keep it to an ok level reducing much damage.
